On a practical level, poetry isn't something anybody has really made a great living at. I might sell some books and, once in a while, someone might pay to hear me read. Viggo Mortensen bookgreathear Change image and share on social

I know people who prepare their roles in such a way that they technically look ahead and memorize their gestures, and then they stick to it.
